Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have been spotted together for the first time since thelast week. 

The Wild Thoughts singer Rihanna recently jetted back to Los Angeles from Barbados, where she and Rocky were on holiday before his arrest upon landing at LAX airport last Wednesday. 

On Saturday evening, the couple – who are expecting their first child together – put on a united front as they arrived at their baby shower which was held at the Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica, California.

Of course, Rihanna, 34, opted for somewhat comfortable attire as she nears the final stages of her pregnancy, dressed in a glitzy bra and matching shorts with an oversized white shirt left unbuttoned to leave her baby bump on show. 

Rocky also kept it casual in a grey tracksuit with a flower pattern and T-shirt. While the Goldie rapper appeared to be in good spirits with a smile on his face, Rihanna seemed to be deep in thought amid what has been a controversial couple of weeks for their relationship. 

Last week, Rocky, 33, was taken into police custody at LAX airport in relation to an alleged shooting that is said to have taken place in November 2021.
